Can’t use your purchase Verve Photography Experience? You’re welcome to transfer it to someone else – just let us know.
Verve Photography Experiences aren’t redeemable for cash and can only be used as outlined by Verve Portraits.

LOVE YOUR IMAGES GUARANTEE

We proudly offer a “Love Your Images” Guarantee to ensure complete peace of mind when purchasing a Verve Portraits Experience.

If you attend your photoshoot and subsequent design consultation and, upon viewing your images for the first time, feel that you do not love the images presented, you may request a full refund of your purchased Verve Portraits Experience. (Please allow time for your bank to process the refund – once we’ve issued it, the rest is up to them.) There is no obligation to purchase artwork.

This guarantee applies only at the initial design consultation when images are first viewed and must be exercised at that appointment. Once you select images and proceed with the purchase of artwork, it is deemed that you love your images and the guarantee is no longer applicable. Requests made after the design consultation or following the purchase of artwork are not eligible under this guarantee.

RESCHEDULING YOUR PHOTOSHOOT OR DESIGN CONSULTATION

We get it — life happens. If you need to reschedule, here’s how it works:

You’re welcome to reschedule your appointment once, free of charge, as long as you give us at least 72 hours notice.
If you provide less than 72 hours notice, reschedule more than once, or miss your appointment altogether, any fees paid will be non-refundable. A new $150 booking fee will be required to rebook.

All rescheduled appointments are subject to availability.

CANCELLING YOUR PHOTOSHOOT

Change of heart? We understand – here’s how cancellations work. We want every guest to feel genuinely confident and excited about their Verve Photography Experience with us. If you decide this is no longer right for you, the following terms apply:

Before or during your scheduling call You’re welcome to cancel your Experience over the phone with our team during business hours at any time prior to completing your scheduling call. In this case, a full refund will be provided.
After your scheduling call During your scheduling phone call, we take the time to answer your questions and formally lock in your photoshoot date and time. Once this call has been completed, your session is considered confirmed. As our team, studio time, and resources are carefully allocated from this point, cancellations made after the scheduling call are not eligible for a refund.
How to cancel All cancellations must be made by phone during business hours so we can support you properly. We’re unable to accept cancellations via email, text message, or voicemail. We always strive to handle changes with transparency, fairness, and kindness.
